Judge Raouf Abdul Rahman, the man who slammed the death sentence on former iraqi leader/dictator, Saddam hussein, has been killed by ISIS rebels in iraq.

Abdulrahman was captured on June 16th and is believed to have died 2 days later. Jordanian member of parliament, Khalil Attieh wrote on his Facebook page that Judge Rahman, who had headed the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal during Hussain's trial, had been arrested and sentenced to death.'Iraqi revolutionaries arrested him and sentenced him to death in retaliation for the death of the martyr Saddam Hussein,' he said, according to Al-Mesyroon.Attieh also said that Judge Rahman had unsuccessfully attempted to escape from Baghdad disguised in a dancer's costume.

Rahman has been accused of bias in his judgement against saddam as his home town had been the subject of a poison gas attack in 1988, allegedly ordered by Hussein.
